No discovery re anxiety…

NOTE — I’ve withdrawn this post; the original study I discussed is paywalled, so I had to write using only the abstract (while ill), and the key statement in that abstract: “frequently coinherited on the same allele as additional TPSAB1 copies” is incoherent. That’s not what allele means, or ever can mean. Alleles can’t encode more than one molecule by definition. Perhaps “along with” was meant rather than “on.” Sadly, I didn’t spot the incoherence in the article and without realizing it (unconsciously) substituted an interpretation that may have seemed reasonable but turns out to be no better than the incoherent sentence provided. The experiment was an attempt to find genes which were also part of EDS, one that failed; and nothing more than that.
